eyeballs (2023)

Directed by Robert Thaxton-Stevenson

Cara, Dev, and Nadine are classmates, but they’ve never actually met each other. It’s the height of the 2020 lockdown, and their teacher has the audacity to assign a group project over Zoom on the theme “connection.” Will these three very different strangers find common ground and a way to connect?

Featuring Ola Pater, Zack Palomo, Molly Powers Gallagher, Aurea Tomeski & Victoria Finney

Type A (2020)

Directed by Emily Hartford

Hui-Shan & Molly live parallel lives as actors in New York City, but couldn't be more different. From their headshots, they are seemingly the same "type." But when that type has no definition except the stereotypical Asian with a Capital A, will they ever be seen more than Type A?

Featuring Molly Powers Gallagher, Hui-Shan Yong, Alisha Spielmann, Emily Hartford & Ned Massey
